Is the rent paid via the college, or is it handed over to you by the students?

Are you allowed to mention how much it pays


So long as its below £4,250 a year its all tax free so not a bad earner.

How many rooms in your house huggy.  Do you have to provide breakfast and dinner?  If you dont mind me asking, how much does it pay?

We had a few down here in 2012.  90/wk no food provided, 105/wk breakfast and dinner.  Wasnt worth it imo, and that was from all those fancy Hove language schools, thought they would be paying top whack.  Could get 85/ week just renting a room out normally for the whole year.

Not a massive house by any standards. I have four bedrooms, one of which is a loft conversion which comfortably fits three single beds (could squeeze a fourth at a push)
Each student pays £119.50 a week of which they get breakfast, a evening meal and a packed lunch.
My wife gives them well above the average on the meals front. I make a few quid, but we also do it for the experience .

Are you saying they are allowed to share rooms?  Ie, you get three in one room, £360/week?  Fk me we were giving them their own double room.  Didnt know we if we could make them share.

The company we use are desperate for hosts, obviously girls and boys can not share.

We have been asked regularly to take on long term students (six months plus) infact i turned down two Libyans' last week, as I am fond of my holidays.

Well Hove is famous for language schools, turns of them, the place is rammed with students in summer.  So surpised they dont pay upmore money, especially as cost of housing is through the roof down here.

Shame you're not in Bradford.

You'd have 300 nationalities to choose from.
